CHILDRENS’S PRIVACY POLICY
BattleOn EpicDuel encourages parents and legal guardians to spend time online with their children. We urge parents and legal guardians to instruct their children to never give out their personal information online without permission. We also recognize a special need to protect personal information obtained from children. In compliance with Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ('COPPA'), we have adopted the following policies regarding children under the age of 13 ('Children'):

Type and Use of Information Collected from Children
To create a Free Account, BattleOn EpicDuel does not collect or require for the child to provide any personally identifiable information if the child is known to BattleOn EpicDuel to be under the age of 13.

To create a Subscriber Account, BattleOn EpicDuel does require an e-mail address as well as the parent’s correct billing information as outlined under the Subscriber Accounts section.

For Subscriber Accounts, we use your Subscriber e-mail address for the following purposes:

  1. To send a confirmation notice to the parent of their child's character registration and password information.
  2. Upon the parent’s request, to send the user password information when the child has lost or forgotten their password.
  3. In response to any questions, concerns or problems that a subscriber has contacted BattleOn EpicDuel about.*
  4. To contact the parent about any problem with the child’s account or conduct in the game.
  5. To send out a newsletter to the subscriber email account**.

*We recognize that young children may inadvertently give out personal information including their e-mail address when contacting us with any questions, problems, or concerns they have encountered while playing the game. We do not collect or use any such additional personal information acquired in this manner unless it is necessary for us to respond to the problem or question or concern. We reserve the right to disclose your child's personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web Sites.

** BattleOn EpicDuel games are unique in a sense that we design and run numerous special events that keep the game constantly fresh, challenging, fun and interesting for our users. Some of these events coincide with actual real life holidays, such as Valentine’s Day, other events are made up as we go along. We use the newsletter to notify our users of all the upcoming events, changes, improvements, upgrades, new characters, etc. In addition, occasionally we may notify our users of new products and services that BattleOn EpicDuel has designed and made available exclusively to our users.

If a child desires to upgrade his/her account to Subscriber Status, a parent or legal guardian will be required to divulge additional reasonably necessary information as described above under Subscriber Accounts.

BattleOn EpicDuel does not share, sell, rent or trade, your child’s personal information to any third parties for their promotional purposes.

BattleOn EpicDuel does not condition a child’s participation in an online activity on the child providing more personal information than is reasonably necessary for the activity. In addition, Parent’s have the right to consent to the website’s use of their child’s personal information without having to consent to its disclosure of that information to third parties. Parents may consent to the website’s use of their child’s personal information, but request that such personal information is not disclosed to third parties, by emailing us at artix privacy email

Notification and Verifiable Parental Consent
At this time, whenever BattleOn EpicDuel is aware that a user is under the age of 13, BattleOn EpicDuel requires the child submit the parent’s email address. We will then provide proper parental notice of the child’s use of the site, including their username and password. For Subscriber Accounts, the receipt of payment is considered actual, verifiable consent from the parents to the child’s use of our website and to any information that was divulged as reasonably necessary to process payments, verify and maintain the account.

How can parents access, change or delete personally identifiable information about their children?
Once again, we would like to assure you that we do not keep any information other than what is listed above.
